Rockliffe Hall, the five-star luxury golf and spa hotel situated in the idyllic village of Hurworth, on the edge of County Durham, hosted an eight-day long Festival Of Food last week and I was kindly invited along to one of their key events, the Taste of the North East Banquet. The aim of the banquet was to celebrate…

Yes, I went back again. But for good reason, PizzaStorm has an amazing new menu which I just had to try, especially for you guys in case you fancied a visit!

Just before Christmas, I headed to Durham to experience the brand new Revolution Bar located at the end of Framwellgate Bridge in the city centre. Durham is an idyllic city, home to the legendary Romanesque Durham Cathedral and the Norman Durham Castle. I love popping into the city because it is just so picturesque and holds so much…

I’m a big snacker. I can eat the most wholesome healthy meals of all, but my downfall is definitely my 3 pm snacking habit.

The carnival has arrived in Newcastle, all thanks to Revolution De Cuba. Newcastle is such an upping coming, thriving city yet I take it for granted living so close to it. There are so many nooks and crannies that I’m yet to discover. I often learn things about the city from tourists which is shocking considering it’s 20…

Oh, look, it’s Coffee O’clock! I do thoroughly enjoy a good cup of coffee every now and again do you? Usually day-to-day, I’m a green tea kinda’ gal but recently, I’ve been craving coffee. Specifically on an afternoon, when the tiredness starts to kick in, y’know. #AdultLife. I’m partial to a fancy coffee from Starbucks when I’m passing…
